I haven't written in French on this blog in a long time, so I put the French version first. I'm not really going to translate for the English version. It's going to be more like an abridged version. The picture at the top is Emmanuelle, Alexandre's wife, with their daughters, holding Sacha. They were here for a visit after their little trip to Prague. The next day, we went to a shop specializing in American baking accessories, Cake & Bake, and then walked down to the Marais area for falafels and oriental pastry.

Emma, Anne and I went to see a movie on May 1, "Le Prénom" ("The Name"), a French movie based on a play with the same title. I'm sure it'll be remade in the States. It's perfectly adaptable, so I won't give it away. Let's just say that at a dinner party, the father-to-be is asked if they've decided on a name and that leads to quite a discussion. Lots of laughs, but some serious thoughts, too.

The Husaunndees just left after a weekend with us. Another big family reunion -- see the picture! More cooking and playing and just sitting admiring the kids. They got to see the horses at the stables next to the nursery school. They even got to see the school, where "Mummy" went when she was little because it was a polling station, therefore open. They also went to the aquarium and saw the crocodiles (among other animals and fish). They loved seeing Sacha. Aurelia is fascinated with babies and would have smothered him in kisses if we hadn't held her back.

Welcome

This is not what I consider a public blog. They are more like the letters I used to write home when I first came to France - before calling became cheap enough to call home and long before the Internet. -- Keep in touch! Ellen
